Move Beyond

The 3dRudder is an intuitive, easy-to-use, foot-based motion controller that enables precise and

hands-free navigation in a 3D virtual environment. Designed to be used from the comfort of your

chair, it connects to your computing environment seamlessly via a USB connector, so you can be

up and running immediately with your favorite VR or 3D application.

Getting Started

Follow the 'Quick Start' instructions delivered in the box with your 3dRudder. These explain how

to plug the 3dRudder into your computer, how to initialize it, and how to calibrate it. Once you

have completed these steps, the dashboard displays...

Calibration

The calibration records your resting position and records settings for the device orientation and

pressure on the board. These settings define a "zero" point for the controller, which the 3dRudder

then sets as a default for 3D virtual navigation.

You need to recalibrate the 3dRudder each time you remove your feet from the 3dRudder for

more than 500ms.

To calibrate the 3dRudder:

1. Place your feet on the 3dRudder, with your legs at a 90° angle within the floor.

2. Find a comfortable sitting position and then keep this position, without moving for 5

seconds, while the 3dRudder calibrates.

Note: If the 3dRudder is too far in front of you, it will slip. If it is too close it will be

uncomfortable for extended use.

3. When this phase is complete, the 3dRudder emits a beep, signaling that it is ready for use.

Using the 3dRudder

The 3dRudder is intuitive and you will very quickly be able to navigate effortlessly. To maintain

optimum responsiveness, we recommend that you:

•

Avoid sudden movements, or partially removing your feet from the 3dRudder, as your feet may

slide off the 3dRudder causing you to lose control of the device, and recalibrate the 3dRudder.

•

Wear flat shoes when using the 3dRudder to prevent damage to the pad and maintain

optimum responsiveness.

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the moves of the 3dRudder by using the

demonstration application before using it with games or applications. This demonstration rotates

you around a statue.
